The cost to rent each chair is $1.5 and cost to rent each table is $6.5

<h3>Applications of systems of linear equations </h3>

From the question, we are to determine the cost to rent each chair and each table

Let c represent chair

and

t represent table

From the given information,

The total cost to rent 5 chairs and 3 tables is $27

That is,

5c + 3t = 27 ------------ (1)

Also,

The total cost to rent 2 chairs and 12 tables is $81

That is,

2c + 12t = 81 ---------- (2)

Now, solve the equations simultaneously

5c + 3t = 27 ------------ (1)

2c + 12t = 81 ---------- (2)

Multiply equation (1) by 2 and multiply equation (2) by 5

2 × [5c + 3t = 27 ]

5 × [2c + 12t = 81 ]

10c + 6t = 54        ------------- (3)

10c + 60t = 405   ------------- (4)

Subtract equation (4) from equation (3)

10c + 6t = 54        

10c + 60t = 405

---------------------------

-54t = -351

t = -351/-54

t = 6.5

Substitute the value of t into equation (2)
2c + 12t = 81

2c + 12(6.5) = 81

2c + 78 = 81

2c = 81 - 78

2c = 3

c = 3/2

c = 1.5

∴ The cost of chair is $1.5 and cost of table is $6.5

Hence, the cost to rent each chair is $1.5 and cost to rent each table is $6.5

Answer:

y= -2+\frac{2}{3}x

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply both sides by 2

2x=3y+6

Move variable to the left-hand side and change its sing

-3y=6-2x

Divide both sides of the equation by -3

y= -2+\frac{2}{3}x
